Photographing is very popular (or is it over already?). When you want to make them publically available there is always the trouble how to do that. Untill now Digikam, KPhotoAlbum, Showimg and Gwenview where a bit low on features in this regard.

With the release of the second release candidate of the kipi-plugins there are two new plugins which you can use with all above applications.

This is the handbook for the plugins of Kipi, the KDE's Images Plugins Interface.

This page will tell you both how to develop a new plugin for KIPI, and how to add KIPI support to a new application (referred to as host application).

Kipi (KDE Image Plugin Interface) is an effort to develop a common plugin structure for digiKam, KPhotoAlbum, ShowImg and Gwenview. Its aim is to share image plugins among graphic applications.
